[ 1 ] - Radioactive analysis and radiological hazards of sand in Weifang, China

Background: The activity concentrations of 226Ra, 232Th and 40K in sand used as building material in Weifang of China were investigated for evaluating the radiation hazard. Materials and Methods: Sand samples were collected from Weifang and their radioactivity levels were measured using gamma-ray spectrometry. The radiation hazard for residents was assessed by radium equivalent activity (Raeq),...
